Homebrew DSi Common Key revealed

[spinal_cord]

With this we can possibly make a new font (DSi font).QUOTENo.

Just no is an useless answer. Can you at least explain why?

Because you cant sign anything at all, you would never be able to actually change the font on the DSi, there is no possible way to.

[edit] wrote sing instead of sign.

You mean *sign? Well the font is just in there. We have to pull it out somehow like we can do with the wii font.

Yes the font is in there. No it doesn't mean we can install a new one. You can't sign one, so it'd get rejected by the DSi, and even if you could, there is no viable method for installation ATM.

When did I claim that we can install a new one? You probably misunderstood me. All I said was that we can make/extract the DSi font, so that we can use it in photoshop, on web sites, applications and such.

 

[SifJar]

Oh. I didn't think of that because it looks like a pretty crappy, standard font, so didn't really think anyone would WANT to use it as a computer font. But yeah, that'd work.

*Sigh*
Will the OP just edit their post so no one will come asking "Can I Haz DSi BrEwz?"
This topic now has 26 pages of what could've been 8 pages if it was pointed out that the common key CAN'T sign homebrew,simply decrypt it,in the first post.

Wow, so I guess there is a rumble feature for the DSL version. Cool beans. But, I guess it proves my theory that the DSi Pictochat and Download Play are based on the DSL versions.

When linking an image that it is important to read text, don't scale it down...

Well it was fairly well known that it was based on the original DS versions.

if no one minds me asking, what do i do with the key after i aquired it. do i need another application, or a folder or something?

 

[twiztidsinz]

Put it in a folder called "l33th4x" on your SD card and put it into your DSi.

I appreciate the humor, but really. A mod should lock this thread.

Theres nothing wrong with the topic existing... it's more the people who think that this instantly means the DSi is hacked... when in actuality it's just something that will allow people who know what they're doing to start making progress in trying to hack it...

 

[starfighter1]

so many lazy people out there iv read all 27 pages now and so what I may not understand some of it. I enjoy seeing what my peers are up to and how they are doing in general. Stop pestering them and instead respect the work they are doing.

 

[Omega_2]

As said by about a QUARTER of the posters that KNOW what they're doing:

THIS KEY IS USELESS FOR MOST PEOPLE, IT ONLY LETS US SEE INSIDE THE SYSTEM FILES, NOTHING MORE. DOES NOT ALLOW PIRATING OF DSiWARE.

More or less the combined thoughts of the peers.
Seriously guys, quit asking the same crap over and over again, if you MUST know, jump back 2, maybe 3 pages and READ.
You'll find your answer soon enough.

@starfighter1
It's only 'work' if we're obligated to complete anything.

Though, everyone's curious, so I guess it's more of recreational curiosity.

And to the user who mentioned a possibility/chance of the private key hiding in the firmware; You NEVER know what pieces of the puzzle you have until you try.

EDIT: @BassAceGold: I SAW YOU LURKING

 

[RoyalCardMan]

So, basically this is a key to access the file system. It is a start for pirating.

Maybe from the files on the Nintendo DSi could be used to hack the darn thing and find the way to hack this baby.

I disagree. The topic at this point is totally worthless and absolutely needs closing.

1) Anyone actually posting in the thread just asks if it can enable DSiware/DSi games/etc. Or making wild speculations that a hack is 'just around the corner'.
2) Anyone to whom the key would be actually useful to, had the key years ago

There's nothing to be gained by keeping the thread open at this point. A mod needs to clearly state the key doesn't enable piracy, DSi ware, etc in the final post and close the thread. If anyone actually wants to talk coherently and technically about the key and its function, they can create a new thread for that purpose. That new thread would not have the constant nagging and noise that 99% of the posts on this thread are.

@Fisherman p what are putting in your dsi sd card???
